As I was driving through the empty lanes of the village
I observed a danger-sign post there, I saw nothing, I was curious to know what was there
I just drove on that lane, and my car got stuck in a quagmire
I managed to jump out, my heart beating fast, I called for help, and now I could just stare
With nobody else to blame, I hung my head in shame
As a truck pulled my car out of the quagmire
I looked at my dirty car, then around me, sunflowers were bobbing and laughing
The truck driver looked at me, for the car was not something you could admire
If I had followed the sign, then by tomorrow I would have reached my hometown
But now it was my fault and I couldn't do anything
I sat on a rock, I saw some sand, half eroded by wind
Or wait a minute is it another quagmire, I am not curious to see that thing
